Hi Luggers,
I don't always contribute to the Friday Flower postings - but here is one 
for this week.
It is a close up of a Fuchsia - the hummingbirds are gone - but the last few 
blooms
are still opening in the hanging baskets. The picture was taken with my 
recently acquired
60mm Elmarit R which I bought from Tom Abrahamsson in Vancouver. He was 
selling a
collection for the family of a close friend as part of an estate sale. I had 
an extra leitax
nikon bayonet in my inventory and so it was an easy task to take off the 
leica bayonet and
install the leitax one - although I did have some trouble getting out the 
light shield
after the leica bayonet was removed - the photo instructions on the Leitax 
site were for a slightly
different configuration.
Here's the picture - bug and all.
